We don't publish a single price list because knitwear pricing doesn't work that way. A 3-gauge chunky cable pullover and a 12-gauge WHOLEGARMENT seamless base layer require different machines, different machine time, different yarn weights, and different linking labor — their CMT costs are genuinely different. What we can do is give you the cost ranges by construction type, and explain what moves your piece up or down within that range.

CMT Cost Ranges by Construction Type

All prices are CMT only (cut, make, trim — labor and overhead). Yarn cost is separate and depends entirely on fiber, count, and market price at time of order. These are 2025–2026 ranges; actual quotes depend on your specific brief.

01

Basic Pullover / Crew Neck

$8–14 CMT
Fully-fashioned flat-knit, 7–12gg, single stitch structure (jersey, 1×1 rib). Standard linking. Low complexity. Typical for cotton basics and entry-price merino programs.

02

Textured / Patterned Knitwear

$14–22 CMT
Cable, jacquard, intarsia or structural texture. More machine programming, slower throughput, tighter QC. Mid-range merino, premium cotton, and wool-blend programs.

03

WHOLEGARMENT / Seamless

$18–30 CMT
Single-piece 3D knit on Shima Seiki. Slower per-unit throughput than panel construction. No linking cost. Best for premium, next-to-skin, and sustainability-positioned programs.

04

Chunky / Low-Gauge (3–5gg)

$12–20 CMT
Heavier yarn, larger loop structures. Slower machine throughput at low gauge despite visual simplicity. Typical for outerwear-weight sweaters, cardigans, and chunky accessories.

What Moves Your Price Up or Down

Increases CMT cost

  • More stitch structures in one garment (cable + jacquard + rib)
  • Lower gauge (3–5gg) — slower machine throughput
  • Intarsia color work (hand-placement at machine)
  • Small order volume (fewer units = less amortization)
  • More panels (set-in sleeves vs raglan vs WHOLEGARMENT)
  • Hand-finishing: fulling, brushing, garment wash
  • Special sizes outside standard S–XL range

Decreases CMT cost

  • Single stitch structure (jersey, rib) — faster throughput
  • Mid-gauge 7–10gg — optimal machine speed
  • Standard construction (drop shoulder, raglan)
  • Higher volume (500+ units per style) — better amortization
  • Standard colorways (no intarsia, max 2–3 yarn colors)
  • Repeat order of same or similar style (no reprogram)
  • Standard size range (XS–XL, 5 sizes)

Sample Fees

A

Proto Sample

$80–180 including shipping to US. One colorway, one size. Yarn may be substituted (closest available) if your specified yarn is not in stock. Turnaround: 10–14 days from tech pack approval.

B

Salesman Sample

$120–250 depending on construction. Production-spec yarn, production-spec construction. For wholesale showroom or buyer meetings. Turnaround: 14–21 days from proto sign-off.

C

Size Set

$60–100 per additional size from the first approved sample. For fit approval across your size run before bulk production. Recommended for fitted constructions and washed garments.

D

Bulk Pre-Production Sample

Included in bulk orders. One unit produced at the start of bulk to confirm production line matches approved samples. Standard practice; no additional charge.

Minimum Order Quantities

1
250 units per color per style — minimum per production run. This applies to all constructions including WHOLEGARMENT. The 250-unit MOQ covers machine setup, programming amortization, and material efficiency.
2
No minimum for sampling — proto and salesman samples are single units. We produce samples at the fees above regardless of whether bulk follows. If bulk doesn't follow, we still produce the sample.
3
Volume discounts above 1,000 units — larger programs at 1,000+ units per color unlock better CMT pricing. We'll quote this explicitly when your program reaches that scale.

Payment Terms

Samples are paid in full before production. Bulk orders are typically 30% deposit on order confirmation, 70% balance before shipment (T/T bank transfer). We work with existing clients on net terms once a track record is established. We accept USD and EUR. Payments are made to a Turkish bank account (Garanti BBVA). We provide a pro forma invoice before any payment.
